Answer:

Decreases

Explanation:

Ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

where P is absolute pressure,

V is volume,

n is number of moles,

R is gas constant,

and T is absolute temperature.

If V is constant and T decreases, then P must decrease.

A rubber balloon is filled with 1 L of air at 1 atm and 300 K and is then put into a cryogenic refrigerator at 100 K. The rubber

Kipish [7]

Answer:

The correct answers are

(a) It decreases to 1/3 L

(ii) is (c) It is constant

Explanation:

to solve this, we list out the number of knowns and unknowns so as to determine the correct equation to solve the problem

The given variables are as follows

Initial volume V1 = 1L

V2 = Unknown

Initial Temperature T1 = 300K

let us assume that the balloon is perfectly elastic

At 300K the balloon is filled and it stretches to maintain 1 atmosphere

at 100K the content of the balloon cools reducing the excitement of the gas content which also reduces the pressure, however, the balloon being perfectly elastic, contracts to maintain the 1 atmospheric pressure, hence the answer to (ii) is (c) It is constant,

For (i) since we know that the pressure of the balloon is constant

by Charles Law V1/T1 =V2/T2

or V2 = (V1/T1)×T2 = $\frac{1L}{300K}$ × $100K$ = $\frac{1}{3}$ × L = L/3 hence the correct answer to (i) is 1/3L

these are the types of attractions found between molecules. their strength determines the state of the substance at room tempera

Elina [12.6K]

<h2>Answer</h2>

The physical state of the elements depends upon the <u>attraction forces </u>and their <u>kinetic energy</u>.

<h2>Explanation</h2>

The elements or substances are fixed with each other with the help of different chemical forces including ionic bonding, covalent bonding, H- bonding etc. The strength of these forces is also one of the factors that affect their physical natures. For example, covalent or ionic bonds are the strongest bonds than all other bonds and metals that contain these forces are mostly in solid form. The kinetic motion of electrons in the element also affects the physical state of the element and potential of bonding.
